Lennox Lewis vs Ray Mercer

[ssx]

Mercer gave a very good account of himself, but I thought Lewis won fair and square. Mercer took some flush shots that not many other HW's could have stood up to.

Yeah, i think that may of come from all of the abuse he took through the media and fans alike that he wasnt 'tough' enough.

I am always surprised people dont mention his fight against Mavrovic as well, that was a tough fight to grind out a win in what was a really grinding fight against a tough fighter

I have read a fair bit on Lewis and even Steward was always telling him to go for broke more often, which is what i think led to fights he could have easily won had he used his boxing brain more(exactly what he was criticised for in many fights)

There is more depth in Lewis's resume than people usually acknowledge. Mavrovic is a good example. A good scrap against a tough, fearless guy who I think got his only L to Lennox.

Great fight and great boxer.
